about

A song about the assassination of love.

lyrics

These lonely nights, they never really hit me 'til I saw, I saw that picture flauntin' bright and better times. Now, all I have are these six strings and a broken hand and this melody of hollow hearts and crimes. Play back the tape, I think I see a second gunman posed to fire, aiming low, his target in his sights. But he's no match for me as I laid you in my crosshairs. I squeezed that trigger and bid you one last goodnight. Now all I hear is the screaming and this ringing in my ears and my hands shake so hard that I spill my shot of rye. And I pray, “Dear God, just grant me one easy day, one moment of peace before I die.”
